04 / Cost
Being slow is expensive
A running memecoin does not wait for you: finish a buy later and you pay more for the same coin. On buys, Fomo finished 0.26 s behind Dawn on average, Pump.fun 0.75 s and GMGN 0.85 s.
Buy on GMGN instead of Dawn and you lose

a year, for finishing 0.85 s later on each buy.
DawnSelling works the other way round: the coin is sold in the first step, so the price is set early and the wait is for your USDC. Finishing first there means your money is back in your balance sooner, ready for the next trade.
05 / Method
How the test works
Three things to know before you read the numbers.
your USDC→←the coinEvery trade takes two steps
Your money sits on Solana as USDC, but the coin lives on another chain. So each trade is two transactions. Buying: send the USDC over, then buy the coin. Selling: sell the coin, then send the USDC back.

The timer runs from tap to finish
The clock starts at the tap on Dawn and stops for each platform when its second transaction lands. Only then is the coin, or the cash, really yours, so that is the time we compare.

The blockchain picks the winner
We do not judge the finishing order ourselves. Every transaction is recorded in a numbered block, at a numbered place inside it. The earlier block wins. In the same block, the earlier place wins. Every transaction is linked below.
